Citizen - Stain Lyrics

2:09 I can feel the impact there

Weird ass song

I don't know what he's saying but i like it

Modern grunge amazing

Stain your shell in red,
Act on my request.
Suspend me by the neck, make me whole again.
A familiar face, a bed of thorns.
A minor scent from where you were.
Let your garden grow
My eyes still twitch for nothing
Loosen your empty hands
My heart still beats for nothing
I'm new, but a duplicate.
Grown from a nourished bed,
I long for a hologram, a replica, something exact.
Stain.
Stain.
A hand, a ring, a special place, a sea of red from which you came.
Let your garden grow
My eyes still twitch for nothing
Loosen your empty hands
My heart still beats for nothing
Take me by the hand, be my architect in grey.
Sell yourself to me
My eyes still burn to this day.
A familiar face, a bed of thorns.
A minor scent from where you were.
Let your garden grow
My eyes still twitch for nothing
Loosen your empty hands
My heart still beats for nothing
Take me by the hand, be my architect in grey.
Sell yourself to me
My eyes still burn to this day.

2019, still a classic.

As citizen progresses through albums, Mat's hair length increases...

Vegans are having an orgasm rn

This song grew on me, no pun intended.

This album was like Brand New's Daisy meets The Jesus Lizard's Goat meets Nirvana's Bleach

Anybody else getting a code orange vibe from the video?

This is a fucking tune

Citizen's new album 'As You Please' is out 10/6. Listen to "Jet", the first song on the album right here. https://youtu.be/RqIByGY5Ziw

They are too underrated

More of this citizen please 😊

Those Touch&Go Records vibes, niiiice

Anyone still got this song playing on the regular? Citizen are sick

Come tour in England please

sweet fuck this is so good

I'm a fan but I've mainly listened to youth before recently. needless to say I was confused when I first heard this song, but it's a banger TBH I love the heavy grunge feel

saw them live last night, i got punched in the face and my nose started bleeding during this song, it was awesome.
i'm really enjoying the direction they're going, the hardcore shit is gnarly.

Well this is different than how does it feel

How does that feel?

Seen these dudes open for Circa Survive. They sound great live.

I admire how they make single coil guitars like those Jaguars and Jazzmasters sound like fucking beasts

That's cause they are beasts!

Citizen fucks me up but in a good way

heaviside needs a video too

This I different... But I like it?

does anyone live in brockton MA

nice plants

Those last 10 seconds doe

Exactly what I was looking for. Thank you.

Heard about these guys from a mate when Youth was out. Didn't mind it but wasn't really my thing but THIS ALBUM HOLY SHIT!!!! Nice dudes I feel that grunge and that bass is right out of the fuckin' 90's!

Citizen still making me feel like a took a shitload of hallucinogens

I'm a huge brand new fan, and I also really like citizen. This new album is great I love their stuff, but comparing them to brand new wouldn't be fair. They're not the same, their sounds are a lot different, and different lyrics even with the religious themes. But I get where people would see similarities. Great stuff though! My Favorite Color is my favorite track off of EIGTH.

Grungecore?

I had sex to this today #TheMoreYouKnow

Man those vocals are crazy, a lot of the instrumental stuff on this album reminded me a lot of Nirvana am I the only one??

They should tour with brand new

in love nd im super happy i met them

Very grungy

if someone told me this was code orange i would be fooled

Let them be. Just... let them be

Very unoriginal. 3/10.

Good. This is good!!

Not sure if song is about growing your garden or growing your pubes

This is the best song this record by a long shot

I swear to God if I hear one more person compare them to Brand New, I'm going to set myself on fire.

+Ellie p well, guess that answers that...

if you change the speed up to 1.5 it kind of sounds like something turnstile would make

I find this band very awesome.

This was shot at Black Diamond in toledo ohio . I'm just guessing.

This is rad as fuck. Can't wait to see these guys at Warped !

This is incredible

im liking this A LOT more than the first single

It sounds like defeater. Definetely

Citizen is a Rock Band

Even though people say its like Daisy era Brand New, which it is DEFINITELY influenced by, but it has a Citizen twist to it, from the Youth album and their older stuff. which i really enjoy.

A greenhouse, Naming this song "stain", a 90s grunge feel? Kurt is that you? Illuminati confirmed.

HELL F&$K YEAH.
SOOOOO STOKED <3

Same guy who shot the new counterparts "collapse" video ?

Max Moore has been doing everyone and their mothers videos recently. for good reason, he's great at what he does

His stuff is legitness

new brand new album sounds sick

POWERCITIZEN

This is fuckin sick

Take a shot for every offset Fender in the video

Already better than everything else they've put out.

Citizen is a seriously a genious band, this song is genious, everything is great.

tbh im glad a lot of these bands are getting out of the emo/pop punk whatever the fuck it is sound. Theyre all growing n doing theyre own thing n its sick af famo

DIY gardening tips by Citizen! 🌱🌰🌱

You must lay on the ground and sing if you want your plants to grow up and eat your old neighbor Steve.

I have a stain from jacking off to hard to this. New sound fucking KILLS.

I'm digging that dark and twisted vibe they have going on. I only wish the album artwork could be as cool as the music itself.

I love how they put the album artwork in the video actually

Citizen has really progressed! Great work.

looking forward to the 8 track release of Heaven and listening to it on my walkman

Your Walkman? 😂

yes, he is a hipster. must be a vegan too

+Jonathan D'Orazio vegan ayyy👌

Intro reminds me so much of The Jesus Lizard and I'm cool with that

@TheWoundedGalaxies Oh my god i was thinking the same thing! The Jesus Lizard is so fucking good.

@TheWoundedGalaxies it literally is so similar

Can tell good things are going to come from them now, god this is good

240p for that extra grunge feel

@Mathew Tomashewsky watch it using a dial up modem too. waiting for it to load really enhances the experience

@Mathew Tomashewsky lmaooooooo

Mathew Tomashewsky haaaa

144 dude..

shut the hell up with your stupid comparisons. it's new fucking Citizen. how about that? is that okay?

You're a fucking idiot. So many bands sound like citizen.

+comcastblows567 tell me whom.. ive been looking for bands like them.. However,I'm not really as fond of this album as I am "Youth"

I believe the word you're looking for is "dynamics"...douchecunt

Btw, I agree with you about Citizen not being groundbreaking. But the band's you're comparing them to are all great, so I'm just glad to see citizen mentioned in the same breath as the Pixies and the Butthole Surfers..

You realize Matt kerekes literally said multiple times that he is very strongly influenced by Brand New. Each of his albums sounds like one of theirs

This is my new favorite citizen song???

Im Ron Burgandy???

this song is amazing and this video is beautiful

This song is sex.

The screaming in the verses ruin the songs... What the heck were they thinking; couldn't they tell how bad it sounded?

@iambetterthentiger i think it brings out the emotion a lot more, bands like merchant ships and old gray have that distinct sound where the vocals are garbage but there's so much emotion, i dig it

@iambetterthentiger if you're not down, gtfo

Fuck off, open your close mind and respect the music for what it is. I'm pretty sure they knew how it sounded.

sounds real dark hahah

*Luke and Tay go the new Citizen music video*

damn. rips

I don't know why but this reminds me of early Nirvana, like Bleach.

the intro really makes me feel like i'm listening to In bloom tho

drums sound like in utero

Richy Rangel Intro guitar is like very ape

Feel the grunge

Great song and man i love all this 90s grunge style videos made on VHS camera.

I love you Citizen, please love me back

shiiit I'm pumped

the sickest

that intro shares an uncanny similarity to 'then comes dudley' by the Jesus Lizard. But thats a great song so im happy

I fuck with this so hard.

i can almost hear people comparing this to brand new

@HudiniXT have you actually listened to their new record or just watched the dreams in inertia video

@HudiniXT ya I get what your saying man I get a faint code orange vibe

@Jarren Davis agreed

@Claudio Benedi Sounds a lot like some of the tracks on Daisy

+Claudio Benedi They are fans/friends of Brand New, it wouldn't be surprising if there are some Brand New influences in here. Besides, that chorus is strikingly close to a Brand New line in Limousine. but yeah, you're right, it's overcompared.
